Liam Hemsworth Debuts as Geralt in The Witcher Season 5 Set Photos

The White Wolf returns for a final adventure as production for the fifth and concluding season of *The Witcher* is currently underway. Fans have been treated to a glimpse of the new Geralt de Rivia, portrayed by Liam Hemsworth, through seemingly leaked set photos shared by the fan site Redanian Intelligence. The images showcase Hemsworth in full costume, sporting the character's iconic long blonde hair, alongside familiar faces like Meng'er Zhang as Milva and Joey Batey as Jaskier, who have been part of the series since Henry Cavill's tenure as the lead.

Hemsworth was announced to replace Cavill starting from Season 4 and continuing through to the final season back in October 2022. The set photos also reveal new characters set to debut in Season 4 and continue into the fifth season, including the legendary actor Laurence Fishburne, known for his role in *Morbius*, who will portray Emiel Reigs.

Based on these set photos, fans speculate that Season 5 might draw inspiration from Andrzej Sapkowski’s *Tower of the Swallow*, particularly the scenes where Geralt encounters beekeepers guiding him toward druids. However, with Season 4 still pending release, the storyline could evolve in numerous directions, leaving much anticipation and speculation about the series' conclusion.

Cavill isn't the only departure from the series; Kim Bodnia, who played Geralt's mentor Vesemir, will not return for Season 4 due to scheduling conflicts. Netflix has yet to announce Bodnia's replacement or confirm a release date for Season 4, keeping fans eagerly awaiting further updates.
